<p>I definitely have no issues with “hand-holding” or whatever it is LAC and LAC-like college supporters call it. </p>
<p>What I take issue with is when certain people deem this method as superior to the research university method. These are two sets of teaching skills and each type of school has its positive and negatives for each individual. I think it is stupid to just label Amherst as a better place for undergrads than Uchicago or Columbia simply because of the aforementioned methods. Each student should be able to figure out what is the suitable method for him or herself. Neither method is the best or the most correct method as a whole.</p>
